Range permanently closing Oct 15!We hope to see you this weekend!!This is our last weekend, and our last day for training sessions will be Sunday Oct 15.
Extended hours both days. I have been
involved in Archery for more than 16 years, both as an archer and as a
coach, and I have been privileged to work with so many remarkable
people. My life has been enriched by all of the incredible youth and
adult students, coaches and parents on this journey and I have developed
so many friendships with some of the finest people I have ever met.
Over the last 5+ years I have been
fortunate to bring archery programs to you as Learn Archery:Atlanta
Archery Club, a dream I worked toward for many years, and, I have been
graced by so much help and support from parents, students and coaches.

I am retiring from the business side of archery
this month. My husband (Coach Rip) and I will be doing some traveling
over the next year and taking some time to be with family.
Coach Rip and I will also be dropping in to Kennesaw Archery Club from time to time.

How to continue with Archery Training
As we have been announcing, we have been working with Kennesaw Archery Club (KAC) in Acworth and Ten Ring Archery
in Woodstock to offer opportunities to our students for continued
archery program training. Both these programs and their Coaches are
excellent- NTS trained Level 3's and 4's. . Coach Shantelle will be continuing to coach at Kennesaw Archery Club and offer private lessons.

If you have attended Saturday morning sessions at Kennesaw Archery Club
(KAC) , you are welcome to continue attending sessions with them . If
you have not previously attend the KAC Saturday sessions, simply check
their website for the process of attending as well as contacting Ten Ring Archery Club for the process of attending sessions in Woodstock.

New Schedule has startedThe Saturday classes are at the KAC range in Acworth again for archers that have been shooting with us regularly. No class held at Marietta Range this Saturday.

Sunday Classes continue at the Marietta Indoor Range.

If you are not a USA Archery member or have not earned rank and not shot with us in a long time, you will need to take the KAC orientation, or attend a few Sunday classes at the Marietta range before attending the Acworth Outdoor Range.

Outdoor Range Requirements:-FIRST VISIT: MUST Bring the KAC waivers required and found Here & Bring a copy of your USA Archery membership card printed and attached to the 2page waivers.
Arrive early to check in at the Pavilion.CLASSES START at 10 AM at the outdoor range.
-Bring your own gear OR
-Equipment IS available at the KAC range.Wear appropriate clothing; Close toe shoes
-Fee at KAC: CASH or check ONLY: no charges; $5 range fee, $5 gear fee at check in
-The upper short distance range starts at 10 meters and staggers to 20
or 30 meters; get acclimated and move up. Most of our group shot the 15
to 20 meter mark last week..(FYI we typically practice indoors at 9
meters and 18 meters)

As
we work on specific elements of the sequence in form, we begin to
create patterns in timing, and routines. The result of the consistency
(or inconsistency) also shows up on the target face as "patterns".
Outdoors we will look at the patterns on the target faces, and indoors
we will provide "quadrant training sheets" which allow students to see
very clearly the patterns of the arrows on the targets by tracking
them on these sheets. This helps coaches offer guidance to help you
center your arrows.
